[Seminar] High-dimensional entanglement witnessed by correlations in arbitrary bases
Talk by Nicky Kai Hong Li, Technical University of Vienna (Austria)
Seminar Summary: Certifying entanglement is an important step in the development of many quantum technologies, especially for higher-dimensional systems, where entanglement promises increased capabilities for quantum communication and computation. A key feature distinguishing entanglement from classical correlations is the occurrence of correlations for complementary measurement bases.
